Anger can be partly physiological, cognitive, and psychological, and it is also pointedly ideological. Factors such as race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, and religion arouse anger (Kim1). Goldhor-lerner stated that: Anger is a signal …. It may be a message that we are being hurt, that our rights are being violated; that our needs or wants are not being adequately met or simply that something is not right ( 1). According to Seneca, anger is a bad thing that can destroy the universe, and he argued that one had to be reasonable and get rid of anger in order to achieve a state of mind not subject to emotions (Kim 2). To Rene Descartes anger is the most dangerous emotion, and it is more violent than other emotions(55). Anger …show more content…
It described working-class life, with an emphasis on domestic realism. The writers in that time tended to use real words, real behaviors and real thoughts. The settings that were depicted in the plays were also real. Osborne's Look Back in Anger,(1956) reflect his criticism of his society. Osborne's anger was represented by the major character, Jimmy Porter, who articulates the disillusionment of the post-war youth in Britain at that time. The struggle between classes was tackled through Porter's marriage to the upper class Alison. The title of look back in anger defines the underlying themes of all Osborne's plays. Each is motivated by outrage because of the discovery that the idealized Britain, for which many had sacrificed their life during the war years, was inauthentic (Innes …show more content…
Wesker also criticized the society, and he tackled social and political themes in his plays. Wesker focused on the life of the labors and the working class and this reflected through his works such as, the Kitchen(1959) ,which reflected the stresses and conflicts of life behind the scenes in a restaurant. He introduced the life of the working class and how they suffer in their society (Drabble 1089 Like Osborne, Wesker shared the tone of rejection. Wesker and Osborne are almost exact contemporaries, and they share the conviction that politics is aquestion of emotional commitment. Wesker's Roots,(1959) introduced also the working class issues. Wesker represented a girl that is forced to find her own voice and the roots of her personal being. Roots underlines the effectiveness of feeling versus political activism. The elements of kitchen sink drama were clearly evident in the Roots (Innes
The Dance of Anger: A Woman’s Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships by Harriet Lerner, Ph.D. takes a deeper look into anger and how it influences our lives in different personal relationships such as with significant others, parents, children, friends, and co-workers. Anger is not an expression that women have been able to express as freely as men. However, it is an emotion that everyone has. Sugar and spice and everything nice is what girls are said to be made of. Lerner explains that there are two ways that society categorizes women in how they deal with anger. She said that there are two categories; a woman is usually either the “nice-lady” or the “bitchy” women. The “nice-lady” is the woman that stays quiet and keeps her feelings to herself in hopes of avoiding conflict. These women will often avoid telling people how they feel, because they do not want to step on anyone’s toes. However, this behavior is hurting them in the long run because they are using all of their energy toward protecting the other person and the relationship that they lose their clarity of self (Lerner, pp. 5-6). The “bitchy” woman on the other hand does not shy away from expressing her anger. She often forms a pattern of fighting, complaining, and blaming to get her point across. This way of communicating can diminish the integrity of the point they are trying to express, because when they voice their anger without clarity or control they give other people the upper hand (Lerner, pp. 8-10). The book tries to move away from these certain styles and focuses more on trying to show better ways of getting a point across. In the book, Lerner explains where anger comes from, why relationships fall into repetit...
One of the most significant examples of violence caused by anger is due to the emotion jealousy. For instance, jealousy played as an accomplice to violence in The Odyssey. One example is when the suitors in Ithaca were planning to kill Telemachus, so that one of them could become king of Ithaca and marry
This paper will examine Robert C. Solomon's Emotions and Choices article, to best identify what anger is, and to what extent a rational human being is responsible for their anger. Firstly, Solomon's argument must be described. A quick summation of Solomon's argument can be found in the following four points: Emotions are judgements, emotions are chosen, emotions serve a purpose, and emotions are rational.1 To quote Solomon, he explains that “Emotions are not occurrences, and do not happen to us. They ... may be chosen like an action.”2
The play also conveys a strong political message. The play encourages the idea of socialism, a society in which responsibility and community are essential, also a place where the community all work together and are responsible for their actions. This is in contrast to capitalism. JB priestly wrote the play in 1945, but it was set in 1912 just before the war, it was later performed in 1946. The play was written after World War I and World War II, Priestley used this to his advantage, it makes the audience feel awful after what has just happened, the majority of the audience would have either lived through one or both of the wars.
Anger has always been the downfall of humanity. For generations man, had fought in war for many reasons, some claiming to be their rights. What right does any man has sending innocent people to their death? Anger has brought men to make careless decision without caring for the consequences of their action even giving their back to their own people. Men that fought courageously for their country, but no one will ever know their name. So many countless tears mothers have cried for their fallen love ones. Many innocent lives lost because of selfishness and greed. In the Iliad, Homer’s descries the moment when brave warriors enter the battle field and hey yell the cry of war, the same cry that men have cried
Emotion figures in relations of power and confrontations to change society. Rage over racism is inescapable, necessary. Making that anger known and speaking about pain have been important in the history of marginalised groups.
People are angry or furious but when the time passes they do not even remember their anger. Should they be angry at the moment or should they accept it as Martha C. Nussbaum says in the “Anger and Forgiveness” book? In the Middle Realm, anger is the “domain of life” (p. 138) and how we spend our life. Nussbaum says that we deal with people who we meet temporary: at work, at the store or in the street on a regular basis. In addition, she points out that in this realm we do not get into a deep relationship with these people, and this is a short term situation. Furthermore, Nussbaum says that she find it easy to transition herself to a non-anger situation with people who she loves. On the other hand, she finds it harder to transition from this
Callwood uses terms with negative connotations to create an uneasy feeling or even fear in readers and inspire them to consider forgiveness. The idea the "heart attacks occur more often" (164) in people who hold more anger leads readers to believe that being unforgiving can potentially be physically dangerous. An increase in anger, which Callwood explains is the "polar opposite of forgiveness," (162) is stated as a contributing factor to worldwide ethnic and religious conflicts, as well as those of a

...e person feel better at a certain point. The amount of anger a person feels at this stage is inexorable. Doctors, nurses, closed ones and every other person; are victimized by the person’s anger whether or not they are at fault. Even the law of nature is faulty of completing its course. Kubler-Ross and Kessler defined anger as being an anchor and “giving temporary structure to the nothingness of loss.” Anger is meaningful in the light of darkness.

Anger is an immediate reaction to an obstacle. It is a strong negative emotion of displeasure, hostility or fury that might occur to anyone on any occasion. Anger generates other bad feelings such as fear, disgust, shame, irritability, outrage, hostility and even violence and the aggressive response it generates can harm you. Anger is a punishment to you for somebody's fault.
This can either be a positive or negative thing and how you act on it, or do not act, can show how in control and effective you are with your feelings. According to the text, “just because you feel a certain way does not mean you have to act on it” and that “people who act out angry feelings actually feel worse than those who experience anger without lashing out” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Even though acting on your feelings may seem uncontrollable, it is important to deal with them in a different and more productive way. Recognizing how you feel and using the right approach during a constructive conversation is always better than quickly lashing out without completely understanding the situation or how you feel besides angry. Furthermore, “recognizing the difference between feeling and acting can liberate you from the fear that getting in touch with certain emotions will commit you to a course of action” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Understanding your emotions is important so that you will be able to experience feelings that may upset you and still be able to deal with them from a positive standpoint. Once you can separate your feelings from actions you will be able to make more rational

Another perspective of hostility distinguishes it is an indication with or without expectation or versatile capacity. Animosity may likewise mirror a behavioral example that can be ascribed to a disorder, for example, Lesch-Nyhan disorder. A wide range of forceful conduct
